hello Julian may i ask is Ryzen 9 5900x and 2070 super will it get bottleneck?

[@Mesh_potato]

you should try to make a mini or portable budget gaming pc with tech yard and stores in Sim Lim Square, the case being the deep cool ch160

[@JulianTechTM]

Ohhh what budget would you think is the best for this? 1,500?

[@imbasheng2251]

@@JulianTechTM can you make something Mini itx with 2k display 60fps in AAA games? always wonder if the gpu fix in the case

I see a new video, I come in, I like. 👍🏼

links don't seem to work, sorry :)

Updated the link

​@@JulianTechTM thank you! it works now. do you get an affiliate comms if i were to purchase from aftershock? Dropped you a msg on instagram!

[@Stoicwx]

Do you have a cheat shyt to understand how the computrr parts are suitable for each another.😅

[@RedactedN86]

going sim lim today to explore and see stuff lol

[@JulianTechTM]

1 of my favorite things to do! haha

[@ivanyu3930]

I rarely see anyone going to Sim Lim nowadays. Went there some time ago and it was quite quiet. Think that most are buying online.

[@JulianTechTM]

@@ivanyu3930 Yeah true, but I donno call me old fashion, window shopping is fun at sim lim

[@lazyturfbattler]

Sim Lim is overpriced af. I built a pc that they wanted to charge 3.4K for 2.7k….

[@JulianTechTM]

Which store, what components? How did you know you paid more? and when was this?

[@Papayaboy69]

nice video! made my day. keep it up

[@JulianTechTM]

Thank you!

[@thestroller7142]

Why the Afthershock tho? I heard that it gets hot cause of the airflow. Are they actually good?

[@wenen132]

Used for 2 years nvr track temps so far no crash. I dont think it will get very hot as its quite a normal airflow case with 2 intakes and 1 outflow fan

[@elishawong]

whats an alternative gpu for lesser budget ?

[@JulianTechTM]

Anything lower would be 7600 xt or 4060 but the 7700xt I the best for now in terms of value

[@nastu_dragneel]

hi Julian is buying pc from carousell better than buying from aftershock?

[@JulianTechTM]

If you're talking about first hand. carosell sellers are a gamble. Some have their own office, some work from their own homes. The most important is what is their warrenty policies and if they can carry it out.

[@quekghi90]

great video, probably the most value build at the moment! but do take note that it's powerCOLOR, not powerCOOLER. 😂

[@Millilitree]

Opnsense guide too please

[@JCCZL]

Would you recommend go for 7800xt for this build?

[@JulianTechTM]

It has it's place. I think you can buy around 630ish. but I rather you go for a 4070 super around 780ish. you get about 25%-30% improvement plus DLSS 3.

[@valovalo1233]

Hi julian if i can get the 4060ti and 7700xt for the same price which shd i get

[@JulianTechTM]

raw performance 7700XT hands down. But if you want features like DLSS 3.0 then 4060TI

[@anita-i5j2k]

hello, i was just wondering how do you pop the glass panel back out to clean the inside for this exact case in the video. Because I have the same case and I've been trying to open the PC to clean

[@JulianTechTM]

there are 2 screws at the back of the case.

[@sgguns]

hi Julian i'm currently running 5600 and a 7800xt, how many years later would you recommend me to change my cpu?

[@JulianTechTM]

I would say if you can upgrade to the 5800X3d maybe in 6 months or 1 year that would give you a good 5%-20% improve depending on games this can last you a good 2-4 years. Pros is you don't need to change motherboard then your next upgrade is buying a new PC with like Nvidia 6000Series or AMD 9000 Series haha.

[@mattroyal363]

​@@JulianTechTMOi 5800x3d out of production alr leh. Either he upgrade to 5700x3d instead or go to AM5

[@burritobunny6901]

Hi julian! What shops do you recommend in Sim Lim? In terms of prices and negotiability Ive heard that dynacore is not bad, what do you think?

[@JulianTechTM]

I personally go to Tradepac, but most of the stores are okay. ViiPC is a good place for MSI products. Dynacore used to be problematic for me personally but now I think it's better.

[@SNSDLOVE44]

Hi Julian, would you recommend upgrading the SSD to 1tb R7000/W7000 ? Would the write and read speed be significant? 😅

[@JulianTechTM]

Really depends. but if you're talking about games. there is really not much difference. Most of the time it's about reliability than speed

[@SNSDLOVE44]

@@JulianTechTM PS, another question hehehe. Intel Core i5 14400F vs AMD Ryzen 5 7600 which would you recommend?

[@JulianTechTM]

@@SNSDLOVE44 Hmmm both are very similar I think the 14400f wins by alittle. so it comes down to price. don't forget you need to get the motherboard with it so I suggest look at both CPU+MOBO combo for both AMD and Intel then it's clear which CPU you should go for

[@videoviewer379]

7700XT = "500" (last I checked in Nov, cheapest is 600+) Ryzen 5 7600 + B650M D3HP = 400 SSD = 115 RAM = 85 Subtotal is already 1100 - 1200, and you left out the price of the Case, PSU, case fans. How is this a "1200 PC Build"? Its a 1200 Prebuilt bought from Aftershock on 11-11 :/

[@JulianTechTM]

I’m gonna assume you got all your prices online and not sim Lim square. Also the aftershock deal is still avil. Did you watch my video throughly because I did talked about this.

[@Ukai_ptk]

bro kali kali maen ke Jakarta, nama toko nya enter komputer ato klo ga coc

[@Risk4life]

Why is aftershock so much cheaper than diy sia... I want to diy for the fun but makes no sense when afterhshock so much better value how eh julian help please ah

[@JulianTechTM]

The diy price is from online or simlim?

[@Risk4life]

@JulianTechTM tried both

[@Risk4life]

@JulianTechTM I tried both

[@loider3365]

Tbh for low to mid range gpu, Nvidia 40 series are really a scam. DLSS is nice but FSR is really not bad and RT is probably bad on those cards that are not 4070 or above.

[@PHONKER891]

Hopefully I try make it cheaper, on Carousell

[@JulianTechTM]

All the best!

[@JulianTechTM]

Hello, thank you for the message, I don't need it at the moment

[@mattroyal363]

Simlim overrated af. So many components can get much cheaper from Amazon SG

[@JulianTechTM]

Storage yes. Everything else not really. Plus sometimes warranty can be an issue

[@zenniz1992]

Try doing a warranty claim, it is gonna be a nightmare. I would rather pay slightly higher for the local warranty. Imagine trying to claim for a $500 graphic card which happened to me twice in my lifetime.

[@saidnobodyever2738]

only in gamer's windows fan boy minds 1440p is a very good resolution. spend 1200 dollars to get -huge cpu case take up space accumulate dust. -cant even build a mini itx to be smaller then a Mac mini. -buy 200hz monitor but resolution 1440p imagine that in 2024 -cpu gpu benchmarks all lose per size per dollars of hardware. -everytime got OS errors, patch and patch still error. -poor security -download files all virus. cant torrent anything useful. -buy cpu still need to buy monitor. all in all cost more than iMac all in one can play all games. every time need to sacrifice one aspect fps or resolution, if not reduce game settings. waste time go home laaaa.....

[@mateen95]

lmao what drugs are you on

[@JulianTechTM]

Wow, this has to be one of the most misinformed comments I've seen in a long time. The fact that you deleted your first comment to write an even more ridiculous one is something, haha! But I'll try to reply objectively here without commenting on your intelligence. No hate if you don’t get it, though. - I don’t think most of us are Windows fanboys; we just love gaming and appreciate high graphics, whether that’s with the best visuals or a higher FPS. The issue with macOS is that you can only play about 10%-20% of games available. - "Big CPU"-a CPU is a central processing unit, just a chip, not the whole PC. I think you're referring to the case/PC/chassis. The size relates to heat management; gaming heats up both the CPU and GPU, and a bigger case can help with cooling because of better airflow and space for additional fans. - The monitor comment is also off, and this might blow your mind, but the monitor in this video is a 1080p 540Hz display that costs $1,300. Even I think that’s crazy, but there’s a good reason: competitive gaming. Games like CS2 and Valorant prioritize FPS, and resolution becomes secondary. - As impressive as the Mac Mini might be, no, I can build a PC at the same price and get better benchmarks. Let’s not even start on the fact that upgrading to 1TB storage on a Mac is $600. - I’ll admit Windows does crash more than macOS. But if you’re smart or know how to troubleshoot, most gamers can solve these issues to avoid future crashes. Also, Macs are no strangers to crashes or the spinning death wheel, so it’s not one-sided. - Regarding the comments about downloading and security- Bro what you downloading? If you ever go back to Windows, here’s some advice: any pop-up that says you’ve won $10,000, it’s a scam-don’t click it. If it says to download more RAM, it’s fake. Not sure which iMac you're talking about, but it has its own sacrifices-not just in FPS, resolution, and gaming settings, but in simply not being able to play a wide range of games. In the end, both Mac and Windows have their strengths and weaknesses. I might joke about Macs, but I do appreciate them-they’re fantastic for creative work, and Apple’s ecosystem is undeniably impressive. At the end of the day, it’s all about what fits your needs best. Whether you’re team Windows or team Mac, it’s great to have options that cater to different types of users.

[@saidnobodyever2738]

@@JulianTechTM good that you are replying with what you know. but for the sake of a conclusion I would like re-present my points. -I don't have to play 100% of the games. many of today's titles are trash. the old ones are everlasting. -yes of course I'm talking about the amount of table real estate a stupid chassis takes up and the amount of dust it accumulates and the time it takes to clean. it has become not worth the time building a block of inefficient hardware and here's why. -any cpu gpu that can't handle it's own temp is EITHER, inefficient, or badly designed. temps shouldn't go above 80 or 90 and if it rightly sits at 60-70 UNDER LOAD then whatever chassis and whatever cooling designs it has are sufficient. Having big fancy led cooler dans or rubbish AIO coolers is not something to yap about because it's a fix for a preexisting problem - poor design and poor efficiency architecture. -I research mini ITX for years and years cos I like small and efficient but it always falls short even for the PREMIUM price I pay. and for for atx people talk all hot air about this rtx or that i9 or threadripper BUT SO? if the average person isn't willing to spend 7000-8000 on a real windows build he or she ends up compensating. And you video is a good example. Spend 1200 for trash. and here is why. - 1080p 540hz ROFL. and another 1300 dollars?? ROFL. imagine in 2024 u look at things in 1080p. you only play games? then u need to get a life. if u watch Netflix, and one day I got a shock about why I am sacrificing 5k iMac display for 1080p for 100000hz for what? skill issue la. trying to play silly first person shooter. ya now Mac display stuck at 60 hz but if Mac upgrades its display to 150hz I believe it is more than sufficient. so then I got an iMac and I played my moba games and lived my life happily ever after. -storage not even an issue. I don't put my shit on hard drive when it's the era of cloud storage. and I don't hoard nonsense gigs of files. every single time I build I get smallest m2 storage drive. apple same. -windows full of shit brah. last time laptop got power issue, next morning wake up zero battery cos never shut down. shut down got funny confirmation must go registry alter this alter that. Mac start up always fast shut down fast, do things always fast. same like phone. android no matter what after 6 months start to lag. take photo the shutter 3 days later snap. apple don't have. the single core performance is unbeatable and proof of EFFICIENCY so don't need talk about cooling this and that. -downloading - download Microsoft office torrent all virus. kms spico all rubbish. Microsoft individual package few hundred dollars. u can use google spreadsheet but Mac numbers is good too and the collab file sharing is perfect. Mac torrent FIRST result is the correct one. basically windows pc a 1m by 1m by 1m pile of junk metal. no useful app no nothing nada zilch. -ecosystem u already acknowledged. Apple Pay, phone sync, safari got good privacy. PSSSTT can bypass IMDA blocked sites without downloading stupid proxy or ip changer or needing Adblock or some BS. See guys this is windows problem. selling a fix for a problem they created. everything got to sub fix. -to all out there don't waste your fucking time building pcs. u will never get a good build. if you stuck on windows like me for decades and don't think you'll ever get out, just go buy minisforum mini pcs it's the best u can get to save yourself TIME, and SPACE, and HEARTACHE. they got mini gaming pcs too and the performance WONT lose to 1m by 1m by 1m of junk metal. and talk what cable management really joke. -conclusion nobody builds that shit anymore. total waste of time. now feel free to rebut. I don't think u can. I'm not even a fanboy. lawl.

[@JulianTechTM]

@@saidnobodyever2738 The problem with your mindset is your very narrow minded. and you think your perspective is everybodies perspective. but I can tell you it's not. by your logic. Apple should be domiating the Tech world and brands like Nvida, Intel, AMD should be going bankrupt. It's clear you're a apple fan boy mindlessly standing up for Apple products when I'm not attacking any apple devices. My conclusion is Windows and MacOS cater to different people. but your conclusion is nobody builds or have windows which is just wrong.

[@saidnobodyever2738]

@@JulianTechTM also just to add 80% games not available on Mac not cos Mac can't handle. from m3 onwards it started to be able to handle. the publishers just need to catch up and publish for Mac. my conclusion is actually to tell people don't waste their time building. obviously the market is not yet convinced. and I'm still not a fanboy just an average user that got pissed off with windows underdelivering.

Lol that NVME ssd is straight up garbage. Can get a WD SN850x 1tb from Amazon for around the same price you quoted. other alternatives like the Corsair MP600 and MSI Spatium M480 Pro available less than $120 You want to stick with Lexar they have the even better NM790 1tb for less than $110
